@cstrotm The more impressive part is that there is still active development on an architecture that is essentially dead. That's really cool. Most other retro devices that can run Linux benefit from using an architecture that is still more or less alive (MIPS, ARM, PPC).

That does not come for free: I see the m68k kernel developers work hard to get patches into the mainline kernel, and some discussions on the mailinglists about the added complexity because of "obsolete" architectures.

I guess nobody loved the i386 enough :)

But there are still users for Linux m68k. And as long there are developers, the story will continue.

@cstrotm Does this would run on ATARI TT either ? Who did this compilation ? I’d like to have more infos. These old computer had almost no integrated circuits backdoors. And in terms of cybersecurity, they remain the best stuff we can have.

@djsumdog It is not an official port, but a small number of genius kernel hackers still keep it running and work on the Debian m68k port.

It had been dead for some time, but has been brought back a few year ago. Unfortunately, the official webpages of the Debian m68k port are outdated, but the mailing-list is active and if you need help with installation, that is probably the best address to start.
